According to sources, Chinese President Xi Jinping suggested that the leaders of the Gulf countries and Iran hold a summit in Beijing in 2023.

On March 10, 2023, Iran and Saudi Arabia signed an agreement to restore diplomatic relations under the mediation of China, and will reopen their embassies within 2 months. After talks in Beijing between Saudi Minister of State, Cabinet members, and National Security Adviser Musaid bin Mohammad Al-Aiban and Iran's Supreme National Security Council Secretary Ali Shamkhani held talks in Beijing from March 6 to 10, the three parties signed a Joint Statement. It is reported that the foreign ministers of Iran and Saudi Arabia plan to meet in the near future to discuss the implementation of the agreement.

"Iran and the Gulf Cooperation Council are expected to hold an enlarged meeting by the end of 2023," the source said. The summit will continue after the meeting between Iran's foreign minister and his Saudi counterpart, the source said.

During the talks, Saudi Arabia agreed that Iran International would be less critical of Iran in its reporting. Iran, on the other hand, promised not to urge Yemeni Shiites to attack Saudi Arabia.

The report emphasized that "in order to demonstrate China's growing influence, the three parties agreed not to use English for communication during the talks, and all talks and documents will be in Arabic, Persian and Chinese." Editor/Xu Shengpeng
